and this is the reason many devs are fed up with you... throwing away data is *never* a good idea if there is no way of reproducing it otherwise.

yes, you can argue it wasn't decrypting code, but it would have provided values that might have been useful in building full tables at a later date (although i still suspect we'll need all the boards again to get complete keys) the only benefit of throwing away that data is making the xors smaller, the disadvantages by far outweigh that.

you are the only one distorting facts, throwing away/changing data, and generally making it harder for other people. I'm not a big fan of videoman myself but in this case he is right.
